The word technology is becoming a frequent
“buzz-word” in the world of education. Hardware,
software, professional development, and integration are all key elements
to technology use in the classroom. So why should educators
try to use and integrate technology into the classroom?
What technologies should or could be used in the classroom?
How can the technology be used to bring about effective student
change and achievement? These are the key three questions of
technologies in the classroom. But it is just one classroom.
One classroom can make a difference and invoke change. That
classroom can be the flam-lit match to the forest of a district.
How do we get school-wide technology integration? It starts with
one classroom.
